Breakfast Thoughts

Would you like to have some coffee? It's made out of the fresh beans of love, And it's aroma is contagious as your breath, Every sip sinks like the unsinkable Titanic. But beware! It might stain your unlovable pristine heart, O sweetness, O goodness, Don't drink coffee. Would you like to have some french toast? It's crispy, crusty and mellow amidst Just like you, euphoric, But O goodness, O heart, It's melodramatic like me, Don't eat french toast. Would you like to have some tea? It's ravishing and romantic made of roses, O honey, O lovie, Alas! The effect might last, Don't drink tea. Perhaps I should fuel my soul With your sunshine soulful smile, It's embroidered in my memory, Mesmerized I am, Smile! Smile! Smile!

Dearest Anne, what a deliciously whimsical feast of feeling! I thought as I read that it isn’t just a morning offering it’s a lyrical dance between the sweet, the surreal, and the soul-deep. I found myself grinning, then pausing, then rereading aloud just to savor the melody of it all. There’s vulnerability tucked between the laughter, a tug of the heart inside each sip and bite. And that closing stanza? that’s the kind of tenderness poetry was made to carry. Anne, what beautiful, nourishing gift. I’ll never see toast the same way again. Summer Blessings, My Dear Anne, Daniel

How cutely unique with images that tweak my lips to smile. To enter your head when imagination struck for this would have been a total buzz on creativities roller coaster. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

a lovely poem, Anne. I liked 'fuel my soul with your sunshine, soulful smile.' I do that every morning with my hubby.

That is a sweet poem and a unique poem! I like it. Breakfast in its many forms is often my favorite meal of the day, especially on a lazy morning.

After offering tea, coffee and French toast, it is unfair on your part in advising us not to have them.... :) :) Quite hilarious, Anne. Love the last stanza.

Dear Valsa, I'm glad we could share a laugh. You're absolutely right, it was quite the contradiction to offer such treats and then advise against them. Thanks for stopping by and reading my poem :)

I'll have all of the above please. Fun, whimsical poem for my morning Anne. My breakfast this morning was a bowl of loaded oatmeal, half bagel, half a banana, juice and coffee. Love was a given
